◆Operation Precautions
Be sure not to print continuously over 1meter, otherwise may cause damage to
the printer head.
Water or other liquid should not spill into the printer, also the printer should not be
appeared in the rain, or else may cause printer damage.
Please do not open the paper case cover when printing; otherwise the printer
may work improperly.
If print with serial interface, should not unplug the interface cable in the course of
printing, or else some printing data may be lost.
When print in Ir or IrDA mode, bus sure the Ir window of the host equipment face
rightly the Ir window of the printer, the distance should be within the range of 50cm,
and the angle should be within the range of 30°.
When print with Bluetooth interface, the communication distance should be
within10 meters, otherwise the printer doesn’t print or prints rubbish codes.
Too high(50℃) or too low(-10℃)temperature and too high(80%) or too low (20%)
relative humidity both effect the quality.
The print paper in poor quality or stored for too long time also may reduce the
print quality even damage the printer.
In the black mark detecting mode, the printer requires that the preprinted black
mark is accordant with the black mark specifications (details please refer to 4.2);
otherwise the black mark can not be detected correctly.
Be sure to use up the power of the battery before charge it, as it can ensure the
using life of the battery.
◆Storage Precautions
The printer should be placed in such an environment that the temperature is
between -20℃and 60℃, and the relative humidity is between 5% and 95%.
If the printer will be stored for a long time, please be sure to take out the battery,
otherwise may damage the battery and printer.
Normal thermal paper can’t be kept too long time. If you need to keep the receipt
for a long period, please choose long term effective thermal paper.
The paper should be keep away from high temperature environment and
point-blank sunshine.
◆Battery Safety Precautions.
Be sure to carefully read the user manual before using the produce.
Ignore the following instructions may cause battery overheating, fire, explosion,
damage and/or performance, and reduced product life.
1) Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
2) Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
3) Do not allow water, sea water from entering or leaking into the battery inside. If the
batteries internal safety device burn, when changing it, it may produce any abnormal
current and/or voltage, and cause any abnormal chemical reaction, then may cause
the battery overheating, fire and/or explosion.

4) Do not use or place the battery nearby the stove or other high temperature places.
Excessive heat maybe damage the resin shell and/or the insulation materials, and
then the battery may be caused overheating, burning and/or explosion.
5) When charging, use a specified charger. Other conditions (high temperature, high
pressure/high current, using the modified battery charger, etc) excludes here may
result in over-charging the battery and abnormal current and/or voltage, cause
abnormal chemical reaction, and may cause the battery overheat, light and/or
explosion.
6) Battery clearly marks with positive and negative. When connect the battery with
the charger and/or printer, be sure to verify the correct battery orientation. Reverse
insertion will cause the reverse charging and may cause abnormal chemical reaction,
and then may cause the battery overheat, ignite, and/or explosion.
7) Do not make the battery contact with the power outlet and/or car cigarette lighter
socket. This may cause high pressure and excessive current, and lead to the battery
overheat, burning and/or explosion.
8) Do not heat the battery or put the battery into fire. This may melt insulation material
and/or damage safety devices or safety equipment, then ignite electrolytic solution,
and cause the battery overheat, burning and/or explosion.
9) Do not use the battery with contrary (+) and (-) Location. In the charging process,
this will cause the reverse charging and may cause abnormal chemical reaction.
During use, may appear unpredictable current exception, and cause the battery
overheat, ignite, and/or explosion.
10)Do not make the battery (+) and (-) contact with any metal. Also, do not carry along
or store batteries with metal objects, such as necklaces, hair clips and so on. Battery
internal short circuit may cause excessive current, and lead to the battery overheats,
ignite, and/or explosion and the adjacent metal objects (necklaces, hairpins, etc.) may
be overheating.
11)Do not throw or heavy attack the battery. If internal safety device of the batteries
burn, the battery charging may cause any abnormal current and/or voltage, and
abnormal chemical reaction, and lead to the battery overheat, ignite, and/or explosion.
Statement:
This is A statement level product,in the living environment ,the product may cause
radio interference,In this case ,and may require the user to take practical measures to
the interference.
